Ice-out & Turnover

[windriver]

I believe in the turnover phenomena but it depends on the lake. The deeper lakes with a muddy bottom are the worst because the bottom gets stirred up and visibilty goes down. I do not believe that fish quit feeding it is simply that you have to put the fly, bait, lure right in the fishes face so they can see it. I always like fishing the edge of the ice as it draws back. I do not know the scientific reason why the fishing seems to be good for a couple of weeks along the edge ice, but it always seems to work for me. I have heard the fish scoop up bugs and stuff trapped in the ice as it melts?[crazy]
